Gauss's forward method to find solution

`h=320-310=10`

Taking `x_0=330` then `p=(x-x_0)/h=(x-330)/10`

Now the central difference table is
`x``p=(x-330)/10``y``Deltay``Delta^2y``Delta^3y``Delta^4y``Delta^5y`
310-22.4914
0.0138

36032.5563


`x = 337.5`

`p = (x - x_0)/h = (337.5 - 330)/10 = 0.75`

`y_0=2.5185, Delta y_0=0.013,Delta^2y_(-1)=-0.0003,Delta^3y_(-1)=-0.0001,Delta^4y_(-2)=-0.0003,Delta^5y_(-2)=0.0004`

Gauss's forward interpolation formula is
`y_p=y_0+p Delta y_0 + (p(p - 1))/(2!) * Delta^2y_(-1) + ((p + 1)p(p - 1))/(3!) * Delta^3y_(-1) + ((p + 1)p(p - 1)(p - 2))/(4!) * Delta^4y_(-2) + ((p + 2)(p + 1)p(p - 1)(p - 2))/(5!) * Delta^5y_(-2)`

`y_(0.75) = 2.5185 + (0.75)(0.013) + ((0.75)(0.75 - 1))/(2) * (-0.0003) + ((0.75 + 1)(0.75)(0.75 - 1))/(6) * (-0.0001) + ((0.75 + 1)(0.75)(0.75 - 1)(0.75 - 2))/(24) * (-0.0003) + ((0.75 + 2)(0.75 + 1)(0.75)(0.75 - 1)(0.75 - 2))/(120) * (0.0004)`

`y_(0.75)=2.5185 +0.00975 +0.000028125 +0.0000054687 -0.000005127 +0.0000037598`

`y_(0.75)=2.52828`


Solution of Gauss's forward interpolation is `y(337.5) = 2.52828`
